Jack Dillon lost to Phil Harrison by KO in round 2 of 8
- Date: 1919-05-24
- Location: New Lyric Theater, Memphis, Tennessee, USA
- Referee: Billy Haack
Memphis, Tenn., May 26 --- Jack Dillon's pugilistic star has set. The "giant killer" has ceased to exist pugilistically. He was knocked out in the second round here Saturday night by Phil Harrison of Chicago. The end was pitiful. A right dazed Dillon in the first round when Harrison could probably have finished him. Dillon made a few futile efforts to swing in the second and then staggered backward and to the floor from a stiff right in the mouth. Harrison handled the crushed fighter as carefully as possible, apparently delaying the finishing punch for it was evident that Dillon was helpless. It was an inglorious effort by Dillon to come back after nearly a year's idleness on account of illness.
